Did you really have a space between the first colon and the 10? If
so try without that space as in
ssh -L 3389:10.1.169.25:3389 usern...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

if that fails try
ssh -L 3389:127.0.0.1:3389 usern...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If it still doesn't work can you tell us what ssh server you're
running on that windows box? Perhaps post the config file for the
sshd? The symptoms you're telling us seem like perhaps port
forwarding is turned off on your windows ssh server? But then again
the test you did from the windows box to itself with
-L3390:127.0.0.1:3389 and rdesktoping to 127.00.1:3390 I suppose rules
that out.


Another netstat command that might be helpful in debugging is
sshclientmachine$ netstatn -an | grep 3389

or whatever number you choose as the first port number in the -L
argument. That'll narrow it down from all the other ports that might
be listening.

Strange that setting up the reverse listener works, but the forward
one does not.
